Offshore Outsourcing Trends
from: John ParkerOffshore Outsourcing have become part of our everyday
vocabulary, and continue to be much in the news with conflicting
reports written on a daily about jobs from developed countries
moving to emerging markets like India, Brazil, Philippines and
China, a direct outcome of the trend. Despite being an issue for
political debate, a constant staple for news media, off-shoring
/ outsourcing continues to remain a rapidly growing practice for
companies under pressure to reduce product time-to-market,
upgrade technologies without compromising internal resources and
quality standards.
Some of the major trends in offshore software development
outsourcing are as follows: 1. More and more IT jobs will
move overseas in the coming years. 2. More corporate giants
opening dedicated software development centers in places like
India and Russia. 3. The gradual acceptance of Western
intellectual property (IP) standards. 4. Offshore sourcing moves
up the value chain. 5. Stratification of offshore countries
based on cost and skill sets.
